Myers Head lead mine is a post-medieval extractive site located in Westmorland. The mine represents the exploitation of lead ore deposits in the region during the early modern period, when demand for lead increased significantly for industrial and domestic purposes. The site contains physical evidence of mining activity characteristic of small-scale lead workings, including surface features associated with ore extraction and processing. Like many lead mines in the Lake District and northern England, Myers Head operated as part of the broader development of mineral extraction that intensified from the sixteenth century onwards.
